When you leave a company, your employer may allow you to keep your money in your existing 401(k). You may want to choose this route if you like the investment choices available in your plan. However, you might be caught by sur- prise if the company decides to change investment options. Further- more, some employers may charge former employees fees to maintain their 401(k) plans.

•Move the money into your new employer’s plan. If your new employer has a 401(k) and allows transfers, you could roll the money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an attractive option if you like the investment options in your new employer’s plan.

•Roll the money over to an IRA. You may find several advantages to rolling your 401(k) over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). First, your money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-de- ferred basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtually any investment you choose — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs), etc. Third, if you own more than one 401(k) account, you could find it advantageous to consolidate them into a single IRA, thereby making it easier to allocate and monitor your retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flexi- bility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretching withdrawals over the child’s entire lifetime, rather than taking the money as a lump sum. (If you do transfer funds from your old 401(k) to an IRA, be sure to use a “direct rollover” to avoid the possibility of triggering unwanted taxes.) Before making any moves with your 401(k), consult with your tax and financial advisors. By looking closely at your options, and by get- ting professional guidance, you can make the choice that’s right for you.

The room was filled with local secretaries, other business personnel, business owners, supervisors and directors. The three-course meal began with a fresh garden salad and rolls, followed by roast porkloin and sides, homemade desserts and fresh made cold tea all served with smiles to the sold-out event diners. MWC President Ethel Strickland welcomed all for attending, made introductions and helped with the passing out of several doorprize gifts. “Thanks to all the local businesses for your dedicated support to this event and to all the events hosted by the Woman’s Club, says Strickland. “And, remember, we will also be hosting the Watermelon Festival Luncheon and Fashion Show in June. We have a very special program this year… one you won’t want to miss.”
